University of Miami (FL) Anchor Bowl benefits charities for the blind.
Hosted by the Delta Gamma sorority. The week-long event is a 50-year tradition for the national sorority and has become a GW fundraiser in which campus fraternities annually compete in various events, including skits, flag football, penny wars and a competition to become Mr. Anchorman. It was originally named "Anchor Splash" in 1952.
Anchor Bowl raises money for Delta Gamma"s national foundation, Service for Sight, which helps blind people. The sorority contributed 50 percent of its earnings to the charity, dividing the other half evenly between a local charity for the blind and a September 11 scholarship fund. Driver, a sophomore, estimates that Delta Gamma raised $2,500 this year, an increase from last year"s $1,500.
Representatives from all of GW"s sororities acted as judges and volunteers in the week-long competition. Each Delta Gamma member was assigned as a captain of a competing fraternity.
The week"s events culminated in Saturday"s football tournament on the National Mall. Events spanned the entire week, with much of the competition happening on Friday and Saturday. Delta Tau Delta dominated the football tournament, and Lambda Chi Alpha took home the gold for the entire competition by winning the most points throughout the week.
Beta Theta Pi member Jeremy Gordon, a sophomore, was crowned Mr. Anchorman after wowing an audience Friday night with his piano skills, performing a compilation of pop and jazz favorites. Gordon is a music student and member of GW"s jazz band, King James and the Serfs of Swing. He also has his own jazz trio.
Sponsors included several local businesses, fraternity and sorority parents, raffles and fraternity member contributions through entrance fees and donated funds.
